"Silver double the chain clearance is very minimal while riding in the

First thing would be to try the wider tires and then check if there is
actually tire/chain interference. If there ends up being insufficient
clearance with wider tires, you might need

Hi guys,
Thanks for the feedback. lots of great options here.
Pete, what width SS are you running?
My next question, with the Silver double the chain clearance is very
minimal while riding in the little ring with my current 1.75 tires. I cant
imagine what would happen if I went up a size.
I had been running the Schwalbe Big Bens on my Clem and had been doing a bit of
fire road riding so recently swapped them out for the Schwalbe Smart Sam's, and
love em! Great on the trails and work just fine on pavement when commutting too.

I am running a Big Ben in the back & a 2.3 Kenda knobby in the front. I tried

Clementine is such a big bike that 2 really fat tires felt sort of ponderous.
The knob on the front gives a little "float" over soft stuff &
If you like the idea of Thunderburts but need a more aggressive knobbie
that still handle pavement amazingly well, Racing Ralphs are supple and
spectacular.
With abandon,

Bought my Clem off this list with a mismatched pair: knobby WTB Bee Line
2.2" in the front, smooth-ish Vee Speedster 1.95" in back. I've been pretty
happy with them for general use, but I expect to trade them out eventually
and I think the next tires on this bike will be Schwalbe Big Ones in
I was going through this recently, but looking for 26" x 2.3. I was
disappointed to learn that Thunderburts by Schwalbe are no longer available
in the 26" size, but they are still made in the 27.5 version. I have two
bikes that can handle the 27.5 Thunderburts, but haven't tried them yet. I
